Recent Townsend guest reviews

It is a great place to stay while in Townsend. It is 2nd floor, so a few steps to get unpacked. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool. We enjoyed the Davy Crockett horseback riding, the caverns, River Rat tubing and Dolly Stampede. We got groceries and the IGA.
